I mean in 2016, Trump had a 25% chance of winning...and he won and the polls were so terrible and lied to us all. Bc a 1 in 4 chance happened lol

I was 4 so I don't have memory of it but not according to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histo...ions#2000_United_States_presidential_election

Looks like Dubya was polling higher than Gore throughout the year

I assume the mainstream media probably didn't help any on that front either lol

I don't take any stock in most mainstream media political polls. They're pretty notorious for being misleading.

Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock have been named the winners of the Georgia senatorial run-off elections, officially giving the Democrats a majority in the Senate and consequentially a majority in the government for the first time since 2008.

Ossoff hasn't officially been named the winner yet but it looks like that's where it's heading.

Funny how Trump's stupidity backfired. Ya hate to see it

Nah it was obviously voter fraud So I guess this is where we are in America, Democrats lose in 2016 and it was bc of Russia, Republicans lose in 2020 and it was voter fraud. America is fucking hopeless.

Yeah more or less. Amazing how each party can’t accept a loss lmao. Although there was much more evidence for Russia interference in 2016 than voting irregularities in 2020

Yes. Thats why politics is like a TV show. It's suspenseful, it's comical and there's a lot of drama that goes with it.

Yes but it’s also bad for America because some people take it so fucking seriously. I took it seriously for about a year and realized I was stressed for no reason. Now I laugh at it and everything is so much better lol.

"Protesters" have invaded Congress, causing the Electoral College session to go into recess; an armed stand-off ensued within the chamber.

Let's be frank, this isn't a protest, this is an armed coup. The police are now utilizing tear gas, rubber bullets, and forceful tactics to beat back the invaders.
